In June, Uber began offering rides in Waymo's autonomous vehicles in Atlanta. This development attracts riders who show a preference for self-driving cars over human drivers. Many users try to obtain these rides by systematically canceling matches with human drivers. Atlanta resident Nate Galesic emphasized that accessing a Waymo ride required significant effort, often declining many human drivers before finally being matched with a robotaxi. Galesic has successfully taken 35 rides by repeating this process.
Riders have reported that when attempting to obtain a Waymo ride via Uber, they encounter challenges, often waiting extended periods by rejecting human drivers.
The introduction of Waymo's self-driving cars in Atlanta through Uber has elicited mixed responses from riders, some of whom refer to the process as a 'game'.
